I’m deprecating the share_on_mastodon_enabled hook in favor of the “new” Share Always option. (The one thing making me reconsider was that the latter did in fact support a second, poorly documented, $post_id argument, which could be used to, e.g., enable forced sharing only for certain post types. That said, don’t think anyone actually uses it.)

Some “microformats2” themes or plugins always add e-content as a “post class.” In combination with some of IndieBlocks’ blocks, which “produce” their own e-content, this leads to 2 e-contents: one which corresponds with the post as whole, and a second one which contains only the block’s children. (Microformats clients will likely just disregard one of them, so no real harm done. But you might be able to tweak your theme’s post_class filter and avoid this.)

Bookmarked Twitter Suspends WordPress.com’s Access to Twitter API, Breaking Jetpack Social Sharing.

Wow. Looks like WordPress.com got cut off from Twitter, and Brid.gy is soon following suit.

Pretty sure sharing (from WordPress) to Twitter is still possible, tho, but it’ll require a free “dev” account. That’s how I’ve always done it; where given the choice, I’d rather not rely on a third party. Guessing 10up’s Autoshare for Twitter works similarly, by the way. (Don’t use my plugin. Or, well, you could. I’m just not going to support it, ever.)

Ah, right! The Webmention plugin for WordPress defines a number of “comment types” (like, repost, etc.), which get stored in the comment_type field. Tbh, I always thought it labeled all of them as “just” webmention.

IndieBlocks treats all mentions as “just comments” but stores type info in a custom field, which makes querying a bit of a pain. Except, I … have always displayed them as just comments, see? Up until now, that is, with the new Facepile block.
